Le Gaulois French Pistol

In
1893 in the "Manufacture de Saint Etienne" catalog appears a
curious small repetition pistol sold under the "Machinegun"
name. A few years later it will be renamed the "Gaulois" and
will remain build till the beginning of World War I.
Invented by Brun-Latrige this gun doesn't have a trigger as the rear part
acts as the repetition and ignition mecanism.
The model displayed there is nickel finish with special grips. Three cartridges
are also on the picture. Various pistols were inspired by this design
(pistolet rouchouse, le merveilleux, le protector,...)
